The phantoms don't produce a white snake by themselves, but do so when combined with a lesser. I think that the phantoms are at the darkest end of the platinum complex brightness scale and the lesser platinum is at the lightest end of the scale. The others are somewhere in between those two extremes.

All of them have made some very nice combination snakes when combined with other mutations like pastel or spider.

Thanks for that info, but I'm not sure what you meant by "each morph produces different % white BEL." Did you mean that the % chance for getting a BEL in the clutch is lower with some combos, and higher with others? Or did you mean that the whiteness (darker to lighter) of the BEL can be different given the parent morphs? Or something else I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

Thats the one. Phantom to Phantom creates a light brownish purple snake, not white but not normal color either. Phantom to Lesser Platty creates a White snake with some pattern and purple and yellow highlights. Mojave to Mojave also creates a white snake with purple and yellow highlights. Mojave to het russo creates the same with a little less highlights, mojave to lesser has even less highlights, lesser to lesser seems to create the whitest look with the fewest highlights and pattern.

Wow. On top of the thanks for that detailed information, I have to wonder how many clutches of eggs and how many snakes went in to figuring all that out...! :P

i say u get a bunch of large normals females, just cuz u can never have enough of those.

other than that with your collection one might get a bunch of female pastels.
and maybe a visual recessive....ur choice ^.^
